GFRP rebar HARDplus® is innovative alternate and substitute to steel bar
100% adhesion to concrete! HARDplus® is designed for high loads!
HARDplus® FRP rebar is a non-metallic reinforcement made from glass or basalt fibers combined with a polymer binder.
It is twice as strong as steel, does not corrode, does not conduct heat, and is 43% more cost-effective.
For better adhesion to concrete, the rebar is coated with sand or special-purpose ribs.
Ideal for construction, it ensures durability, strength, and long-term savings.
It is widely applied worldwide in over 19 countries, join the leading future!

Due to the fact that GFRP rebar is 2-2.5 times stronger at break, GFRP rebar with a smaller diameter can substitute steel bars:

| 8 mm | 50-200 m | 1,00 – 1,50 m | up to 15 kg |
| 10 mm | 50-100 m | 1,25 – 1,75 m | up to 20 kg |
| 12 mm | 50-100 m | 1,75 m | up to 25 kg |
| 14 mm | 6-12 m | in bars | |
| 16 mm | 6-12 m | in bars |
In order to deliver 2 km of steel bars you will need special-purpose equipment, and in order to conduct loading and unloading you will need pretty much time and workers. More over, the cost of all these operations will be quite price.
In order to deliver 2 km of HARDplus® GFRP rebar you will just need a car. Due to the fact that GFRP rebar can be delivered in coils/rolls and its weight is about 10 times lower than of steel bars, loading and unloading operations will take just about 15 minutes and 1 worker.

GFRP rebar LIGHTplus®
Since conventional composite rebar is slidable and has 83% adhesion to concrete, its application is limited and suitable for constructions with low loads only. Composite rebar with sand coating HARDplus® has no such disadvantages, which makes it twice more reliable!
